Gifts of Stock

Donating appreciated securities is a wonderful way to help support the National Park Foundation. It is the Foundation’s policy to sell the stock or security and put the proceeds right to work for our parks. Per the IRS, the Foundation establishes the value of the stock by calculating the mean average price on the date ownership is transferred. Before making such a gift, please make sure to discuss your particular situation, including tax benefits, with your financial advisor. Please contact the Foundation at (202) 354-6460 or donorservices@nationalparks.org for instructions on securities transfers. It is important that you notify the National Park Foundation in advance of any transfer so that you will be properly credited for your gift.

All gifts to the National Park Foundation are considered tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. For additional information please contact the Foundation at 202-354-6460 or donorservices@nationalparks.org. NPF’s tax identification number is 52-1086761.
